Kristy Mansfield

Meet 16-year-old Kristy Mansfield from Clagiraba who
has picked up $8000 as winner of the Ultimate Look of the Year in TuesdayMagazine of the Gold Coast Bulletin, Tuesday, August 29, 2006.

As she and another 19
finalists struck a nervous pose on stage waiting to hear the winner's name
announced for this year's Ultimate Look of the Year model quest, run by
Katz Management, Kristy kept telling herself, 'just be happy for the girl
whose name they call'.

As it turns out, that task was
a breeze - the name she heard was her own.

And did the crowd roar.

"I had 13 members of my family
who came to see me," laughs Kristy, a Year 11 student at Marymount College
with career aspirations banking on fashion journalism.

The audience watching the
choreographed final parade at The Oasis in Broadbeach contained Kristy's
twin brother Zac, mother Lisa, father Richard, and grandmother, aunties,
cousins, school friends and even her teacher.

Suffice to say, this 180cm
blonde from Clagiraba, with stand-out-features, is well liked for her
freshly honest and grounded demeanour - character traits not wasted on
Katz managing director and Ultimate Look founder Kathy Tabet-Castens.
Kristy's personality and attitude played a part in scoring for her highest
points on the day, leading to a take-home prize package worth $8000.

Kristy take-home prize package includes...

- $3000 spending money at boutiques located in
the Oasis shopping centre, Broadbeach.

- $2000 cash.

- A-two-year modelling contract with Katz
Management at Southport, including representation for major modelling and
fashion events around Australia.

- $1100 Equip Yourself course with Buckingham
Academy.

- Photographic portfolio from MC Photography.

- Covergirl photograph and article in
Tuesday magazine, within The Gold Coast Bulletin.

- A variety of hair and make-up
products.
